About the Piece
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote Dance Of The Mirlitons for Act II of The Nutcracker (1892). “Mirlitons” refers to simple reed pipes or fifes, and the piece’s airy woodwind writing gives it a bright, delicate character. Known in many English scores as the “Dance of the Reed Flutes,” it is one of the ballet’s most recognisable miniatures. Its buoyant rhythm and graceful melody capture the festive, storybook world of The Nutcracker. Heard each Christmas in concert halls and on stage, the dance continues to charm audiences with its lightness, clarity, and sparkling good cheer.
